The triceps are more important, for the reason that biceps are the muscles that pull the arm in, and triceps are the ones that push the arm out, improving punching speed and power.
Strength is important, learning explosive power, and endurance.
However, for martial arts it really isn't stressed a lot. If anything i wouldn't do weights as serious as bodybuilders. We mainly do calisthetics and lots of cardio to prevent us from bulking up.
A good martial arts school will teach you how to use your muscles as one rather than individually, that's the key to more powerful techniques.
good point on the chest thing, but, like it would make too much of a difference. your chest is a bunch of muscle, it kindof absorbs a punch. good point, but really it doesn't matter.
Great vid thanks. I was a yellow belt in karate. Why was? Its a very painful story, I just burnt my yellow belt. It costed me 3 years of misery. But great vid, really helped me out
Yeah, biceps don't throw your punches, but they bring your hand back and bringing your hand back quickly is VERY important in a fight.

my chest got huge from doing tons of push ups!, i thought push ups were a martial arts friendly exercise, but i guess to much of anything is bad.

Abs, legs and arms I find are the most vital for strength training although I still do weight training for strength and cosmetic purposes.

ya biceps are not important the triceps are, they improve your hitting power, plus the biceps only make up 33% of your upper arm
